But the problem with an electrical charged magical sword is that it doesn't work through a mechanism that creates a current, it works by drawing in energy from the surroundings and manipulating it to become lightning. So the electricity wouldn't 'come out' of the sword, it would just gather in it's imediate surroundings. If you want a sword that just zaps people like a tazer it'd be safer (and easier) to use the Power Of Science as we already know that works fine.
